Scottish Executive

Climate Change

Des McNulty (Clydebank and Milngavie) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many projects funded by the Climate Challenge Fund contained an element encouraging walking.

Roseanna Cunningham: In the first year of the Climate Challenge Fund 56 projects across Scotland have been awarded funds to reduce their carbon emissions. Their details are listed on the Climate Challenge Fund website www.infoscotland.co.uk/climatechallengefund .

  Six of these projects contain elements to encourage walking or other forms of sustainable travel:

  Strathdon School Path (Aberdeenshire) – £25,000 to construct an off-road all abilities path to allow children to walk or cycle to Strathdon Primary School from local areas;

  Active Leith (Edinburgh) – £282,935 to tailor travel plans and establish an incentive scheme to encourage local residents to shop locally;

  Biketown Huntly (Aberdeenshire) – £47,318 to work through a series of community driven proposals to make Huntly a car free eco-town;

  Stepping Stanes Youth Cycling Club Coach Development Project (Dumfries) – £2,700 to encourage young people to use bikes;

  Strathpeffer to Dingwall all abilities community link (Highlands) – £12,000 for a feasibility study for the development of an all abilities cycle track, and

  Recyke-a-bike (Stirling) - £182,350 to increase the availability and use of recycled bicycles.

Culture

Christina McKelvie (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what steps it is taking to secure the purchase of the Titian painting, Diana and Callisto, by 2012.

Michael Russell: The National Galleries of Scotland and the National Gallery London will be responsible for fundraising for Diana and Callisto, using the longer timescale to the end of 2012 to plan and implement an extensive campaign for private sector funding.

  There is no commitment of any public funds to this purchase.

Drug and Alcohol Misuse

Karen Whitefield (Airdrie and Shotts) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many children are living with (a) alcohol or (b) drug-dependent parents, broken down by local authority area.

Adam Ingram: Current best estimates suggest that 40-60,000 children in Scotland may be affected by parental drug misuse. Of these, 10-20,000 may be living with at least one parent with a drug misuse problem. Current estimates also suggest 65,000+ children may be affected by parental alcohol misuse.

  Figures for children affected by parental substance misuse broken down by local authority area are not collected centrally.

Forestry

Elaine Murray (Dumfries) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what recent discussions it has had with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ministers in relation to (a) changes to the Forestry Act 1967 and its operation in Scotland and (b) proposals in the Climate Change (Scotland) Bill regarding the Forestry Commissioners.

Roseanna Cunningham: There have been no recent discussions between the Scottish Government and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ministers on these issues.

Freedom of Information

Jeremy Purvis (Tweeddale, Ettrick and Lauderdale) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what the average cost of responding to freedom of information (FOI) requests has been in each year since 2006.

Bruce Crawford: We do not hold information on the average cost of responding to FOI requests.

Further and Higher Education

Margaret Smith (Edinburgh West) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what it is doing to maintain the autonomy of Scottish higher and further education institutions.

Fiona Hyslop: The framework for maintaining the autonomy of Scottish higher and further education institutions and ensuring academic freedom is set out in the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005. Most recently, the Scottish Government confirmed its respect for the autonomy of institutions in New Horizons,  the report from the Joint Future Thinking Taskforce on Universities, when setting out its new approach to the relationship between the Scottish Government, the Scottish Funding Council and the higher education sector.

Health

Jackson Carlaw (West of Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-20359 by Nicola Sturgeon on 23 February 2009, whether it will provide figures for the year ending 31 December 2008 and, if these figures are not available, when they will become available.

Nicola Sturgeon: Scottish Morbidity Record information is continually submitted to the Information and Statistics Division (ISD) of NHS National Services Scotland by NHS boards. Data for the year ending December 2008 which meets ISD’s data completeness protocols is now available and is provided in the following table.

  ISD continues to work with the Scottish Government, NHS boards, and independent health care providers to improve the quality of this data, and ensure high levels of completion. It is intended that this information should be published on a regular basis, when the data is of sufficient quality and completeness.

  Apparent increases in independent sector activity in some health boards to the year ending 31 December 2008 can be attributed to (a) improvement in the collection of these data in recent months, particularly at independent locations other than private hospitals (e.g. private nursing homes; hospices; homes run by local authorities or charities), and (b) the opening of the Scottish Regional Treatment Centre at Stracathro Hospital in 2006. However, as submission levels are believed to vary by location and over time, the figures should be considered of limited use and should be interpreted with caution.

Housing

Robert Brown (Glasgow) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive how many management-only local housing organisations entered into a remodelled management agreement with Glasgow Housing Association in 2006 and how many homes were covered by each agreement.

Alex Neil: Twenty-eight Management-only Local Housing Organisations entered into a remodelled management agreement (RMA) with Glasgow Housing Association in 2006. A list of these Local Housing Organisations is provided below, containing stock numbers covered by each agreement.

  The RMA’s were created under section 68A of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 through the direction of Scottish ministers. In accordance with the original direction, a review is being carried out. The Minister for Communities and Sport asked the Scottish Housing Regulator (the Regulator) to carry out the review and, in January 2009, the Regulator issued a consultation paper setting out the proposed terms of its review of directions under the above act.

  GHA, the LHOs and other interested parties were asked to provide feedback on the Regulator’s proposals by 27 February. Feedback is currently being considered by the Regulator and a finalised paper will be issued by the end of March.

Housing

Robert Brown (Glasgow) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive for what reasons Scottish ministers propose to delegate to the Scottish Housing Regulator powers to direct Glasgow Housing Association to delegate housing management functions to registered social landlords on expiry of the existing 64 remodelled management agreements in Glasgow.

Alex Neil: The delegation of the review and the issuing of any future directions to the Scottish Housing Regulator are in line with the Ministerial Code of Practice, which explains the Scottish Housing Regulator’s role as follows:

  The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 sets out the powers available to ministers in regulating and inspecting registered social landlords and local authorities in their housing and homelessness functions. But we recognise that these powers must be exercised at arms length from Ministers. So, as a matter of policy, we have set up The Scottish Housing Regulator to exercise these powers in a fair and impartial way, free from any inappropriate influence. (Foreword by the Cabinet Secretary).

  The code then goes on to set out ministers’ expectations about the way that the Scottish Housing Regulator will exercise the powers contained within the 2001 act.

  As a government agency, the Scottish Housing Regulator has complete operational independence. But it remains accountable to Scottish ministers, and through them to the Scottish Parliament for the standard of its work.

  Consultation on the forthcoming Housing Bill is planned and that will offer all an opportunity to comment debate and discuss the future of regulation.

Infant Mortality

Irene Oldfather (Cunninghame South) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what the rate of neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births was in 2008, broken down by NHS board.

Shona Robison: This information will be included in table P2 in the General Register for Scotland’s 2008 Preliminary Return, which was published on 12 March 2009. Link to latest preliminary return:

  http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/publications-and-data/preliminary-return/2008-preliminary-return.html.

Infant Mortality

Irene Oldfather (Cunninghame South) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what the rate of stillbirths per 1,000 live births was in 2008, broken down by NHS board.

Shona Robison: The rate of stillbirths is normally calculated as the rate per 1,000 live and still births. This will be included in table P2 in the General Register for Scotland’s 2008 Preliminary Return, which was published on 12 March 2009:

  http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/publications-and-data/preliminary-return/2008-preliminary-return.html.

Licensing

Bill Aitken (Glasgow) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, of the 1,134 alcohol off-sales test purchase operations carried out between February 2008 and January 2009, how many resulted in alcohol being sold to (a) an underage person and (b) an underage person for the second time; what action was taken against the licensees in each of these cases, and how many licences were forfeited.

Kenny MacAskill: Within Off-sales premises subject to alcohol test purchase between February 2008 and January 2009 alcohol was sold to:

  (a) an underage person on 172 occasions, and

  (b) and underage person for the second time on 13 occasions.

  Information on prosecution decisions in relation to alcohol test purchase cases is not routinely available because the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) case management system records charges and does not flag up specifically charges which result from test purchase operations. However, as recorded in the response to question S3W-20050 on 5 February 2009, a COPFS study in 2008 looked at 69 cases known to involve test purchase of alcohol and identified the outcomes of those cases.

  All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament’s website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/Apps2/Business/PQA/Default.aspx.

Medical Students

Murdo Fraser (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive how many (a) English, (b) Northern Irish and (c) Welsh students are studying medicine at Scottish universities and paying medical top-up fees.

Fiona Hyslop: In 2006-07 there were 160 entrants to preclinical medicine courses at Scottish institutions whose prior domicile was in England, five from Wales and 75 from Northern Ireland. All entrants to preclinical medicine courses at Scottish institutions in 2006-07 would be expected to pay the higher rate of fees introduced in 2006-07. Students who began their course of study prior to 2006-07 and continued to study in each successive year, i.e. without taking gap years, would be expected to pay fees according to the fee structure applicable at the time of entry into their first year of study.

  The above figures have been rounded to the nearest five.

Medical Students

Murdo Fraser (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive how many (a) English, (b) Northern Irish and (c) Welsh students started studying medicine at Scottish universities in each of the last 10 years.

Fiona Hyslop: The number of non-Scottish domiciles from within the UK entering pre-clinical or clinical medicine courses at higher education institutions in Scotland between 1997-98 and 2006-07 (the latest data available) are given in the following table.

  UK domiciled entrants from outside of Scotland to clinical medicine and pre-clinical medicine at Scottish higher education institutions by region of domicile: 1997-98 to 2006-07:

National Conversation

George Foulkes (Lothians) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what the next steps will be in relation to the National Conversation.

Michael Russell: The Scottish Government will build on the success of the National Conversation so far by making sure that the people of Scotland have the opportunity to debate the options for constitutional change set out in Choosing Scotland’s Future before reaching a decision in a referendum to be held in 2010. I shall outline plans for that process at the appropriate time.

Rail Freight

Claire Baker (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what would be required to enable freight to be transported on the Leven to Thornton railway line.

Stewart Stevenson: Network Rail owns and manages Scotland’s rail infrastructure and any requests to use the Leven to Thornton line would need to be lodged with them. Thereafter it is for Network Rail to determine any work required to ensure the line is fully operational.

Renewable Energy

Elaine Murray (Dumfries) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether energy produced by anaerobic digestion will be included in its cap of not more that 25% of waste being treated as energy from waste by 2020.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government announced in a statement to Parliament on 24 January 2008, that the 25% cap on energy from waste would include anaerobic digestion where it is used to treat mixed waste.

Roads

John Farquhar Munro (Ross, Skye and Inverness West) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what research was carried out on the safety impact of the Inverness bypass between July 2008 and the publication of the Strategic Transport Projects Review in December 2008 and what detailed results are available.

John Farquhar Munro (Ross, Skye and Inverness West) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what the reasons were for any changes made to the appraisal summary table for the Inverness bypass between the July 2008 draft Strategic Transport Projects Review document and the December 2008 final document.

Stewart Stevenson: Technical reviews for consistency and clarity of the appraisal and its reporting on a Scotland wide basis were completed as part of the quality assurance of the STPR in the period July 2008 to December 2008.

  This included reviewing the safety criterion for the Inverness bypass. More information on the appraisal can be found in Report 3 of the STPR which can be found on the Transport Scotland website at www.transportscotland.gov.uk/stpr.

Water Environment and Water Services Act 2003

Derek Brownlee (South of Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-29558 by Rhona Brankin on 21 November 2006, whether actual costings are now available and, if so, what these are.

Stewart Stevenson: Detailed costings for each sector are not held centrally.

  The Impact Assessment which considers the costs and benefits of implementing measures aimed at improving the aquatic environment in the Scotland River Basin District in line with the requirements of the Water Environment and Water Services Act 2003 was placed on the Scottish Government’s website in January 2009.

Water Services etc. (Scotland) Act 2005

Derek Brownlee (South of Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-29590 by Rhona Brankin on 17 November 2006, whether actual costings are now available and, if so, what these are.

Stewart Stevenson: The main objectives of the Water Services etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 were to strengthen the economic regulation of the Scottish Water industry - including setting up the Water Industry Commission for Scotland - providing for competition in the non-household retail water sector and strengthening customer representation.

  Detailed costs associated with each of these objectives can be found in relevant published reports in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.

  Costs associated with the operation of the Water Industry Commission and the development of retail competition in the non-household water market can be found in the commission’s 2007-08 Annual Accounts (Bib. number 47112).

  Costs associated with the transfer of complaints handling functions from the commission to Waterwatch Scotland were minimal as these involved the transfer of existing complaints functions (with some additional functions established by the 2005 act) from the Water Industry Commission to Waterwatch Scotland. Waterwatch’s general operational costs can be found in its 2007-08 Annual Report (Bib. number 47506).

  In general, the costs of the Water Industry Commission are recovered through a levy on Scottish Water and while no costs are imposed on other organisations all customers have benefited from the efficiencies brought about by regulation.

Young Offenders

Claire Baker (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many children are held in secure accommodation and how many were held in each of the last three years, broken down by local authority area and institution.

Fergus Ewing: The current number of children in secure care accommodation is not held centrally. However, the government annually publishes secure care accommodation statistics which can be found at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2008/09/09105012/0 .

  Details of the number of children held in secure accommodation are as follows:

  Notes:

  St. Mary’s Kenmure was temporarily closed from 30 March 2008 but young people were still reported as being in this centre at the end of the month. Consequently, some young people will be counted in admissions for other centres for 30 to 31 March without having been recorded as discharged by St. Mary’s.

  For 2007-08, young people using the emergency bed have been included for St. Mary’s Kenmure as they were not able to differentiate between emergency and non-emergency beds.

  Kibble opened on 23 July 2007.
